For others that own the SAVAGE 120 can you answer this question for me. It concerns the ROUGH/SMOOTH button. When the button is engaged (Pushed in) and the amp is in SMOOTH mode I noticed that the TREBLE / MID / and BASS knobs do not seem to do anything when turned. However when in ROUGH mode they work. Is that normal? No EQ in SMOOTH mode. One other thing I notice is that the HIGH BALANCE knob only works in SMOOTH MODE. I want to mention I was on channel 4. Never thought to see if its the same on any other channels. Thank you.
UPDATE 9/22/17: I messed around with the amp today as time permitted on BOTH Channel 3 and 4 and when in SMOOTH MODE I do hear a change in tone when I adjust the BASS / MID / TREBLE but its very , very subtle compared to ROUGH MODE. In ROUGH MODE I can really hear the tone change when adjusting the BASS/MID/TREBLE. As for the HIGH BALANCE knob I read the manual and it only works in SMOOTH MODE so I tried it and I really dont hear much of anything when I adjust it. Please if someone would chime in that owns a SAVAGE 120 and tell me if theirs is similar are might I have a circuit problem with my amp... I dont know. Thank you.
